It is a truly cheering statement. It shows an incr°ase in the last quarter's Revenue over that of the corresponding quarter of 1835 of no less than 1,306,6484, and in the income of the year 1836 over that of 1835 of 2,045,4561. It will be found, too, when this, we may say, almost unprecedented increase comes to be analyzed, that it affords a sure test of the solid prosperity of the country, inasmuch as it arises chiefly out of increased consumption. Thus, under the head of Customs, there appearsan increase on the quarter of 381,2601.--in the Excise, 713,0211. in the Stamps, 110,0961.—Taxes, 70,7571.—and in the Post-office,34,ooo/. Mere is here exhibited a degree of national prosperity which, white it affords a subject of public congratulation, naturally draws attention to the system of Government by wc,:ich it has been pro duced. We are fully warranted in sa)'ing that this pros perity is the noblest practical triumph that could possibly have been given to the principles upon which pub lic affairs have been conducted by the INIELnot:RNE Ad ministration, while it is equally condemnatory of the principles of that turbulent and selfish faction who would sacrifice every consideration to place and plunder—who have shewn that they are will ing even for the chance of gratifying their dar ling propensities, of tyrannizing over and fleec ing the people, to plunge the nation into :di the hor rors of civil war. The refornis which have been already made in our national institutions though they have been is:peded by the Tories, -have given a new stimulus to industry ; and a:: we proceed in the same wise and noble career, we shall see the national resources developed to a degree of which we can at present hardly form any conception. The Editor of the Dublin Pilot, who is as well acquainted with the temper of his countrymen as any man in Ireland, says, in allusion to the Lords' rejec tion of the Irish Municipal Bill, that " there will be agitation of an unparallelled character throughout the length and breadth of the sister country. W e never recollect the people so truly roused, so predisposed for energy, and so resolved on perseverance." We are glad to hear this, for agitation—general, unceasing agitation, wi t hi n t h e li m i ts o f th e const i tut i on—is Ireland's only chance of obtaining justice from the Lords. She has supplicated them,. and they have turned a deaf ear to her supplications. She has remonstrated with them, and they have laugked to scorn her remonstrances. Sh e has even knelt down before them, and they have spurned her from their gate. Nothing then is now left for her but agitation. She must Sat —remonstrate—kneel no longer ; but assume a bold, ,determined attitude—bearing this in mind, that there .never yet was a people resolved to have justice d une t h e m, that did not gain t h e i r po i nt. In the present instance, Ireland has no very herculean difficulties to contend agaitk:.". She does not st an d alotre in the battle. N.)--Englarn".l is with her, and so is Scotl an d ; an d t h e tiara united will vanquish th e Tory faction, as surely as Sir ANDREW AGNZIV will "groan in the spirit" all next Sunday. Mr. Q'CoNNFI.L who foresees the comi•ao skriminacte" has already aonounced his intention d tAina, a leading part in it ; a ;3 I ; In . C 9 lM ?9 observing, in a pr;:liminary communication to the. Editor of the Dill)lin Pilot, " I will more fully dCvelope my plan in the letter I promise to send you on Monday. It will include the organization of the Ge neral Association of Ireland.' The objects of that Association will be two-fold ; first, to procure by law a complete Municipal Reform in Ireland, on as large and efrectual a basis as that originally proposed by the Ministry ; and, secondly, to procure by law such a settlement of the Tithe Question as hail be satisfactory to the people of Ireland. The Association to be dis solved as soon as both these objects are attained, .and to be supported in the mean time by an Irish rent', on the same principle as the Catholic rent." - No doubt their Lordships will ha wondrously disgusted with this comprehensive plan of agitation, which will be carried into immediate execution throughout Ire land ; hut if they will only take the trouble to reflect for one single instant, they will see that they them • selves have laid the train, and prepared all the materials of combustion. Had they pursued an equitable course of policy towards Ireland, not a syllable should we have heard about agitation. There would have been good-will where there is now discontent—peace where there is now hostility. And by Whom will the effect of this agita tion be most acutely felt ? On whom will it fall with the most crushing severity ? On the heads of those who invoked the Spirit—on their Lordships them . selves A fool, says the old proverb, can raise the Devil', but it requires all the wit of a SOLOMON to allay him ; and their Lordships being by no means richly gifted in this respect, it follows as a necessary consequence that • the Spirit they have called up, will play them the same ugly trick that ASIITA ROTH played MANFRED. Meantime, we congratulate Ireland on the determination she has come to in this crisis of her fate. It is worthy of a frank, brave, and sensitive nation, who have received the grossest affront at the hands of a set of bigots, who know nothing of her but what they gather from the columns of a Tory journal; and who, with the little ness peculiar to their nature, make a point of swallowing as Gospel-truth every thing that is said or written to her disadvantage. The Paper Duties Reduction Bill passed the Com mittee of the House of Commons last night. We thank the Government for the, willingness which it thus shows to redeem its pledges on the Paper question ; but how is it that equal anxiety is not evinced in bringing forward the Bill or Bills for reducing the Stamp Duty? Surely the latter is the more important, and therefore should have been allowed to take precedence of e, comparatively speaking, very secondary measure. We have waited patiently for a long time. With every facility of making our complaints known, and felt, we have hitherto remained silent, in the expectation that the Government would not lose a moment in redeeming its pledges to us and the country. Nor do we com plain now ; we only trust that no time will be lost in bringing forward a measure prayed for by the country, and necessary to the future existence of a free Go vernment in England. We direct the attention of our readers and the public generally to a very excellent letter from the Hon. Member for Greenock, on the subject of Post office Reform, which will be found in another column. It must have been highly gratifying to Mr. WALLACE to receive the congratulations of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and the House generally the other evening, when Mr. SPRING RICE announced the in tention of the Government of introducing the Bills for regulating an Establishment, in the reform of which Mr. WALLACE had taken such a deep interest. The whole of the Paris Papers of Monday have been received. The following extracts contain the only news they bring worth notice : PARIS, JULY 4. —Notwithstanding the ordinance of the President of the Court of Peers, which fixed Thursday, the 7th of this month for the opening of the proceedings in the affair of Alibeaud, it is, however, possible that the proceed ings will not commence before Friday or Saturday. Two witnesses have been summoned from 'Perp!jnan, and it is doubtful whether they will be able to reach Pa; Ls by Thurs day next. One of these witnesses is M. Corbiere, who ap peared likewise in the trial of the prisoners of April. We are assured that the Government is highly dissatisfied with the conduct of General Bugeaud, and that complaints have been made both to the Marshal Governor of Algiers, and to the Minister of War, of various acts of despo tism of that General. We are the more inclined to be lieve these accounts, as our private letters from Africa point out facts of such a nature that we know not by what names to call them. The natives detest General Bugeaud, and the following fact has not a little contributed to it. Having lately convened several chiefs of tribes, he kept them for three hours bare-headed in a kind of court-yard, exposed to the sun, while he harangued, through the means of an interpreter, quite at his ease, under the cover of a portico. This strange conduct, which the General doubtless considered as a proof of dignity, was looked upon, even by the Arabs, as the act of a man ill educated, and as an insult which they do not seem inclined to pardon. Meantime he seems to trouble himself but little about the division under his command. Instead of thinking of providing what will be necessary for the campaign, he is said to pass his time in composing magnificent reports in the oriental style, and intended for the papers.—iliessager, July 4.

Our readers will recollect that we published n Tlif Sun of Monday, the copy of a General Order, signet: by General EvANs, in which the Commander-in- Chief reminded the troops, that as they were acting in union with the British navy, all British subjects found fighting in the ranks of Don CARLOS should be considered as rebels against the King of GREAT BRITAIN; and that if taken, they should suffer the penalty of death. It will also be remembered that we declined making any observations on that document, as we had doubts of its authenticity. We could not conceive that General EVANS would be rash enough to declare the King of ENGLAN D at war with DoN CARLOS ; still less that be would dare, on his own responsibility, to constitute himself his MAJESTY'S judge and executioner. We had many reasons for such incredulity. In the first place, we considered it totally at variance with the character, and inconsistent with the well known opinions of the Hon. and Gallant Member for Westminster, to declare as a fact what he must have known to be untrue— namely, that the King of ENGLAND was at war with Don CARLOS ; and again to make such a declaration of fact the basis of the most barbarous and inhuman - policy. In the next place, had we even doubts of General EVANS' veracity and humanity, our impression 2r2 1 .4 ..9274 THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1836. as to the spuriousness of this document would be the same, inasmuch as its publication could not fail to lead to explanations which would soon set the army right as to the legality of such General Order. To pre sume that General EVANS could be mistaken, as to the fact which that document assumes, was impossible; and to suppose that he was unaware of its monstrous tendency, would be to suppose him unacquainted with the first principles of moral rectitude. But astonishing as it may appear, it seems that the document alluded to was really authentic. In answer to a question put to the Noble Foreign Secretary by the Right Hon. the Member for Tamworth respecting this General Order, Lord PALMERSTON admitt«l that such an Order really existed, though he was not officially cognizant of the fact. Coupled with this admission, is a declaration on the part of his Lordship, as a Minister of the Crown, dis claiming all connection with the acts of General EVANS, and fairly handing over that Hon. and Gallant Officer as a boon to her Most Catholic Ma jesty. The Noble Lord positively assured the House that the act complained of was not the act of a British officer, but the act of ,an officer in the service. of the Queen of SPAIN. This declaration places General EVANS in an unenviable predicament. If the authen ticity of the General Order be proved, he has committed a heinous violation of the laws of this country, and cast an indelible stain upon his character as a man and an officer ; and if he presume to act upon the order so iss" d, nothing can be clearer than that (not being an o..,cer in the British army, and subject to the orders of the British CoMmander-in-Chief), 'he may be brought to plead for his life at the Old Bailey. But we must not condemn 'General EVANS unheard. A charge Which 'affects him so very seriously will, of course, Meet With prompt attention. COMMON HALL.-(THIS DAY.) A Common Hall was held this morning for the election of a Sheriff, in the room of Thomas Tck,g, Esq., - who was elected on the. 24th of June, but who paid the fine, and was excused, Mr. WiLsoN, who proposed Mr. Terwr, excused himself for the nomination of a gentleman who preferred to pay the fine. Mr. Tegg bad intended to serve, but some after circumstances had altered his mind. John Johnson, Esq., citizen and spectacle maker, whose name was in the list, was declared duly elected. There were very few citizens present. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) GUPPY V. FEW.—JUDGMF.MT. This was a motion made by the defendant to discharge an order of the Master, by which leave had been given to the plaintiff to amend his bill, being a bill of discovery for the production of all hooks, papers, &c., in the pleadings, mentioned by way of defence to an action brought by the defendant Few. The original bill was filed by Few, claiminv to be entitled to certain patent rights granted to the late Mr. Charles Edward Howard, and prayed for an account of the profits which the defendant had made by the use of the patent, and payment of what was due in respect thereof. The answer having been put in, and cause heard on the 10th of November, 1830, a de cree was made, by which the Bill was to be retained for three years, and Few was to be at liberty to bring an action against Guppy. The MASTER of the Ports having gone through the details of the case, said the question was whether, under the circum stances of the case, considering the question at issue between the parties, the direction given at the hearing, a full answer having been put in and an order having been made for the production of such documents as Guppy was entitled to upon the case made in the Bill, after a rehearing of the original cause, and a space of five years having elapsed from the time the action was brought, it was a proper exercise of the discre tion of the Court to allow the plaintiff leave to amend? His Lordship thought it was not, and therefore the motion of the defendant, Few, must be granted; but, under the circum stances of the case, he thought the defendant was not entitled to the costs of it. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT OLD COURT. - - - - - Philip . Gawp, aged 40, a c l oc k -ma k er b y tra d e, was i n di cted for stabbing, cutting, and wounding Charlotte Gamp, his wife, with intent to murder her. Another count stated the intent to be to do her some grievous bodily harm. On the prisoner being placed at the bar it was intimated that he laboured under insanity. Mr. Cope, the Governor of Newgate, stated that the priso ner was brought into his custody on the 23d of June, since which time he bad manifested symptoms of insanity, and par ticula'r attention had been paid to him, but he seemed uncon scious of right or wrong. Mr. Macmurdo, the surgeon of Newgate, confirmed the statement of Mr. Cope. Mr. Justice VAUGHA N informed the jury, that from what they had heard, there could be no doubt but that the unfor tunate prisoner was of unsound mind ; it would be useless, therefore, to pursue the enquiry. The jury then returned a verdict of acquittal on the ground of insanity, and the prisoner will be detained until the plea sure of his Majesty be known. ARSON.—Henry Matthew Meads, aged 15, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to the dwelling-house of Mr. George Crookes, a grocer, of Lambeth-walk, to whom he was an ap prentice. Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. BODKIN appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. PHILLIPS for the defence. The trial is likely to occupy the whole day. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all kinds of grain this week are moderate, and of Flour inconsiderable. The Wheat trade remains very dull, at Monday's prices. Barley, Beans, and Pease are un altered. Oats support the terms last quoted, with little doing. Flour meets an extremely heavy sale. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Motif.. English Irish - 1,140 Foreign I,3W 190 150 VIENNA, JUNE 21.—Prince Paul Esterhazy is already preparing to return to his post in London, but it seems uncertain whether he will long retain it. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, JUNE 14.—The fermen tation in Bosnia appears to continue • and it will be necessary to take measures to put a n en d t o this state of things. Emi. gration from that country, which has been going on for some time, increases more and more, and many Bosnian families endeavour to settle, some in Servia, some in the Austrian territory. Prince Milosch, who was generally reported to in tend to go to Vienna in the course of the spring, seems to have given up the plan for the present. M. Mourojene, Secretary to the Turkish Legation at Vienna, arrived at Galacz on the Bth, and proceeded to Jassy. The Turkish Ambassador himself, Terik Achmed Pacha, is expected at Galacz, whence he will proceed to his post by way of Bucharest. The hay harvest has commenced in this neighbour hood. The crop is generally very light.—Halifax Express. On Wednesday last, Mrs. Fletcher, of the Naviga tion Inn, St. Helen's, was killed on the Warrington Railway Junction line.

THE REV. ROBERT NEWTON.--It was rumoured in this town on Wednesday, that this distinguished Wesleyan Minister had died suddenly at Manchester. We are happy to say the rumour is wholly unfounded. Mr. Newton has gone to attend the Irish Conference in Dublin.—Leeds Mercury, The accounts of the barley crop are, we regret to learn from all parts, at present very discouraging. The wheat looks remarkably well, and promises to be an average crop.— Newcastle Journal. The Rev. Mr. H. O'Freill, of West Tullaghbegley a county of Donegal, in a letter to the editor of an Irish paper, states. that at present (June 25), nine-tenths of the people of that district are starving. Considerable injury has been done to the cotton crops in South Carolina and Georgia by the overflowing of some of the rivers in that district. The whole country was deluged, and the passage of the mails had been stopped for three days. On the 13th ult., while the West Essex Troop of Yeomanry were at Romfcrd, Mr. Robert Roberts, of Epping, received the contents of his own carbine in his hand, and he died on Tuesday last. The melancholy accident was occa sioned by the carbine going off half-cock, the lock being de fective.— Essex Standard. THE SPANISH DiPEDITION.—Orders have been received by the Spanish agents in London, from General de Lacy Evans, to commence recruiting again in this country for the British auxiliary legion, to fill up the vacancies that have occurred through deaths, sickness, wounds, &c., as the misunderstanding that has for some time existed between him and the new Minister Isturiz, at the conduct of the Spanish Government, in not fulfilling the contract of the Ex-Minister of. Finance, Signor Mendizabal and Evans, previous to the Signor leaving England, that they should receive the same pay and rations regularly as in the British service, being at present amicably settled, as money has been sent to pay up the greater part of the arrears, THE BALLOON ASCENT AT BAYSWATER.— The following is the account written by Mrs. Graham : " Soon after seven o'clock I entered the car, followed by Mrs. Cheese, who took her scat in the most calm and collected manner, when, after Mr. Graham had arranged the quantity of ballast, we were launched into the air, rising slowly over the gardens, in which were a highly respectable company.. My companion was much astonished at beholding the nat_ assem blage of persons in every direction outside the gardens, which, upon this occasion, far exceeded the number I observed on the occasion of my ascent on the 27th of last month. The city, on our first rising, appeared enveloped in smoke ; but after we had been up a few minutes it became more clear, and we had a beautiful view. I pointed out to Mrs. Cheese St. Paul's cathedral, with the whole of the Briflges, the Parks, and Kensington-gardens. The Serpentine-river had a very novel and pretty appearance, resembling a line of bright silver from the reflection of the sun's rays. On rit:ing we took a north west direction, passing very slowly over Craven-hill, West bourne, and Kensall-green, the Cemetery at Kilburn, &c. Having been requested by some individuals of high respect ability to keep in view, I kept purposely at a low elevation, not exceeding the altitude of a mile and a quarter. During the whole excursion I explained to Mrs. Cheese the use of the whicb, by emitting a portion of the gas, caused me also to c iL. r o iargo so m e ballast, which was a source of amusement to my eampanion, who watched its descent, it having the ao• pearance of a small cloud. We ultimately effected our de scent in a beautiful meadow, on Ifxendon Farm, belonging to James Elmore, Esq., between Harrow. and Harrow Weald, at 13 minutes before eight o'clock, where we let off two car rier pigeons, and again ascended the length of the grappling line, being 60 feet, and remained suspended for the space of ten minutes, in order to afford an opportunity to Mr, Graham, Nilo was following our track in a postchaise, to ascertain the direction in which we were, In conclusion I cannot but ob serve that the conduct of Mra, Cheese, being her first appear. ante, was most undaunted, notwithstanding she received an annonymoue letter, for the purpose of intimidating her from ascending, the writer asserting my inability to manage the balloon.

Our arrivals this morning are the French mails and ship letters from Sydney. We have likewise Cape of Good Hope papers to the Ist of May, and Sydney papers to the 6th March. The Cape papers say that by private letters from the fron tier, they learn the country, beyond the Keishamma, was tran quil. A slight degree of excitement had been occasion e d at Fort W a t er l oo on the 2d ult., by the following accident : " Umhala, the chief, from ignorance or inattention to mili. tary rules, attempting to walk into the commissariat stores, without authority, was stopped by the sentinel on duty, and upon his seizing tho soldier's firelock by the muzzle, the latter drew his bayonet, and wounded him in his back. Umhala made a formal complaint—the soldier was placed under arrest--and assurance given that strict justice would be administered. The soldier was tried and 'acquitted, and the Chief was fully satisfied." The Sydney papers do not contain any news of consequence. Accounts from Launceston state that meat and bread were very dear there. FUNDS. The prosperous state of the quarter's revenue, to the amount of 1,306,6481., and on the year 2,045,4561., has not had any effect on th e Funds this morning, owing to its having been anticipated last week, when Consols rose to 93; but this fa vourable state of our Treasury gives great satisfaction to the public.

The Galsgozo Steamer has left this morning for San Sebas: tiara with 54 recruits for the British Auxiliary Legion. It was intended that about 200 men should have been sent, but the recruiting depot having been broken up, the difficulties for that service increase every day, and it is to be feared that few men will be got in future, if better means and more money are not employed. The Manchester Steamer has arrived from Lisbon with let ters and papers of the 28th ult. She does not bring any news of importance. All was tranquil in the capital.

I George Robins, in announcing the sale of near 20,000 acres of land, this month and the next, makes the following most important declaration, viz., that land has, during the present season, experienced a most favourable re action, and the prospect of continuing so is highly encou raging. The concluding words are still more important : EVERY ESTATE WHICH HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO HIS DIREC TION AND MANAGEMENT THIS YEAR, HAS, WITHOUT ONE SOLITARY EXCEPTION, BEEN ACTUALLY SOLD. This morning a limited administration was granted at the Prerogative Court of the effects of the late James Wood, Esq., the great banker: the administration is confined to paying the banking debts, &c. VICISSITUDES OF FORTUNE.—It is not more singular than true, that in a parish not one hundred miles from the Royal Exchange, one of the paupers, who formerly kept a large coffee-house in that neighbourhood, is at this time receiving parish relief ; and the overseer whose duty it is to relieve him, was formerly his porter, and at this time is master of the same coffee-house. We feel for and pity this poor man, who formerly relieved the poor in the same room in which he at this time receives his own pauper allowance. The world is like a drunken peasant : help him on horseback and he tumbles down on the other side. It can not, by any possible means, be mended. It is, and will be, the devil's own world. I am perfectly weary of it. Would that our Lord would come quickly, and take me from it. Let him come with the Last Judgment, and I will hold out my neck for the stroke; let the thunder-bolt lay me in repose !

A PHILOSOPHER'S SKULL.--A famous craniolo gist strolling through St. Bury!s churchy ar d t h e other day, perceived a grave digger tossing up the earth, amongst which were two or three skulls. The craniologist took up one ; and after considering it a little time, said, " Ah ! this was the skull of a philosopher." " Very like," said the grave-digiier, " for I see it is somewhat cracked." MARRIAGE INVITATION.—About sixteen years ago one of our town:men emigrated to Canada, where he has succeeded in life, and is in comfortable circumstances. De sirous to share his comforts with an agreeable partner from among the daughters of his own people, he, about a twelve month ago, wrote home to Paisley, offering terms to a woman whom he never saw, but with whose friends he is acquainted, and with whose excellent character he is fully satisfied. The lady, wh o never saw her future bridegroom, after giving the invitation a year's careful consideration, and satisfying herself as to his character and the sincerity of his intev i tiq, came lately to the resolution of accepting ti - , ! 3 leols offered, a n d sailed from Glasgowypooy, 444."

M r. Tal b ot and his Lady, and Colonel and Mrs. Montague. The fineness and warmth of the weather induced their Ma jesties not only to spend this afternoon at Virginia Water, but also to dine in that beautiful and cool retreat. The Royal party left the Castle at two o'clock for this pur pose, in several open carriages. In th e fi rst were t h e King and her R oya l Hi g h ness the Princess Augusta ; in the second, the Queen, the Landgravine, and Prince Ernest of Phillipps thal ; Prince George of Cambridge, Lord and Lady Waarn cliffe, the Hon: Wm. and Mrs. Ashley, Lord and Lady Falk land, Lord and Lady Sheffield, Miss Hope Johnstone, Lord and Lady de Lisle, Lord and Lady F.

The King will go to St. James's to-morrow (this day), for the purpose of holding a Levee, but will return to the Castle in the evening. COURT CIRCULAR. His Majesty will hold a Council this day at St. James's after the Levee. The Duke of Cumberland honoured the Marquis of Hert ford with his company on Monday evening, at the fete given by his Lordship at his villa in the Regent's -park. Baron Blome, the Danish Minister, and M. Walk; the Belgian Charg6 d'Affaires, transacted business yesterday, at the Foreign. office. The Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt held their quarterly meeting yesterday at the Treasury. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Pattison, M. P., Governor of the Bank, and Mr. T. A. Curtis, Deputy Governor of the Bank, were present. Mr. Higham, Secretary to the Commis sioners, was in attendance. The Marquis of Lansdowne left town on Monday for St. Leonard's. The Noble Marquis is expected to return to town to-day. Lord Nugent had an interview with Lord Glenelg r,sterday at the Colonial -office. n consequence of its being the intention of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Vic toria to make a tour of the northern counties in the - autumn, preparations have already commenced at Alnvvic); Castle, the magnificent scat of the Duke of NorthurnLerland, for their*raception. Lord Brougham, says the Leeds Mircury, who is still residing in Lincolnshire, is rusticating with so much ad vantage as to have overcome all his aAments. His Lord ship eats, drinks, and sleeps, as well as before his illness, and his spirits have seldom been so equable and satisfactory as at present. The Earl of Carlisle, who has been passing some days at the D u k e o f Devonshire's villa at Chiswi c k, has some what improved in health. With the aid of a stick his Lord , - ship is now able to walk. Mr. John Kemble (eldest son of Charles Kcal ble), who has been residing some time in Germany, has. en gaged to edit a popular journal devoted to Reform, and which has been established in London by a wealthy individual, the representative in Parliament of a great county in the north of England. Mr. Kemble is gone to Germany for a . short pe riod : he will return a Benedick, and then enter upon the duties of his highly responsible office. The dog days have begun, and the excessive heat of the weather renders it incumbent on persons to keep their dogs cool and within doors, and to supply them well with water, and not give them too much animal food. It is necessary, if they are suffered to go at large, to have them muzzled, and not used in trucks, as many of them have been killed in Maryle bone and other parishes from which danger was apprehended, from fearing of their being mad. The farm of the late William Cobbett, called Nor mandy, in Surrey, was yesterday sold for 2651. There were c)t many competitors at the sale. CAPTAIN DAVIDSON, OF MUIRHOUSE.—Capt. Davidson's pretended death was supposed to have been part of a scheme for relieving his property from the load of debt which encumbered it, so that, through his son, he might realise an income from it. Whether an arrangement for this purpose had been completed is not- confidently stated.. He is said to have come to Edinburgh at the beginning of last winter, chiefly moved to that imprudent step by a desire to see his wife and children, to whom he was fondly at tached. On learning the fact of his re-appearance, the in surance offices immediately obtained criminal warrants for his apprehension, and the proceeds of his estate and all existing funds and property belonging to his family were arrested by the creditors. Thus his wife; son, and other children, are reduced in a moment to pennilessness, and the whole scheme by which he hoped to realise an income defeated. It is said, bow.. ever, that it will be difficult for the insurance offices, after all, to prove the fact of his continued existence, unless he shall be seized, which is not considered likely. A number of, other nice and intricate law questions will arise out of the eve, par tieularly as to the liability of the trustees of the limas admi nistered in behalf of his family. In the meantime tlie tale ex cites a local interest for which we can recollect no parallei.. Mrs. Davidson and the younger children are universally ac. quitted of all blame, and greatly conimisserated. Nor 'is it possible to consider Davidson himself in the light of an ordi nary criminal. His conduct throughout life bas indicated a. strain of insanity, but certainly not very extravagant, but sufficient at once to dictate and apologise for the act of which he has been guilty. The father of this gentleman, Dr. Ran dal, was Minister of the Outer High Church in Glasgow from 1773 to 1778, when he was translated to Edinburgh, • lie took the name of Davidson on succeeding, under that pro visors, —to a fortune ..— Greenock Intellig ences , A LADY IN AN IRON MASK.—Among the nu merous curiosities o f t h e C ast l e o f S teinberg I shall mention only one. It was a very thin but strong iron mask, with clasps and locks of the same metal, of which a redoubted baron of olden times is said to have made frequent use. It appears that he had a very handsome wife, who was sadly coquettish, and more fond of exhibiting her pretty face than he at all approved of Whenever he stirred from home, therefore, he was wont to incase his slippery partner's head in an iron mask, and put the key in his pocket. Tradition says that the gentleman mistook the application, and quite mis placed the protection, as the lady, though she could not ex hibit the light of her countenance to her lovers, whispered stilt softer endearments through the bars, and in the end taught the foolish noble that in love, as in war, physical obstacles, so far from keeping out an invading enemy, generally serv e as his best stepping -stones to conquest,— Winter in Lower .c;tyria. A new sort of rye grass, called the Italian rye grass, was last Spring introduced into Berkshire, and sown on a small scale in two or three places, and it would seem to be a plant deserving the attention of every stock farmer. It appears to be a very early grass, and when sown on a warm soil in good condition, it affords as much feed and quite as early as a good water meadow ; and will, to the farmer who has nothing to carry his stock at this season of the year, be invaluable. It is supposed to be very sweet, as hares come from a great distance to feed' upon it. There is no danger of the rot; and if sown among rape or Swedes, to be eaten in the Spring, it will be found uncommonly beneficial, as af fording a very great abundan ce o f most exce l lent food at the time when it is very much wanted.
